I need some critique on this and I came here because the users in the Picture Post are actually no help at all xp

I'd say that you could spend more time in the planning stages, laying out pose and propiortion. The pose is stiff and that hand is really very small.

The clothing folds seem a bit overdone, although you have the right idea....

Also those chainlinks are huge. Not very much like any swing I've been on.

the shading is really cool, especially on the hair. but the anatomy is really screwing my eyes up. blah blah blah watch people and draw them yadda yadda.

All the anatomy? Like what exactly? Hands, legs chest, etc.? Or Everything? Should I do the whole thing over? I'm quite willing to if I have to...

Also, thank you for your comments 3nodding they were very helpful unlike some in the Picture Post stare

Yeah, Picture Post can be pretty useless xp

Biggest anatomy problem is probably his arms - they look very thin, and the exaggerated folds on his sleeves adds to the effect. His right hand looks okay for the arm, but both of them look too small compared to the rest of the body.

The folds look like they're on the right track, but they're looking too sharp... I'm terrible with folds, so I'm afraid I can't say exactly what's wrong with them, other than that they don't look completely right. xp

You do have very lovely shading though 3nodding

The folding on the clothes makes it look like it's melting, very Dali but maybe not what you were aiming for. I think you've just been a bit over-zealous with the folds. You only need a few choice ones to put into your clothing to make it realistic.

Bellybutton seems very low, raising it might sort the elongated torso.

I don't like the shoe. The main problem is that it's not foot-shaped and since it is an obvious point in the picture, I think you should re-design.

btw- I think you should consider a more subtle watermark. The one you are using is very distracting and hurts my eyes! I doubt you need such a huge, overbearing one anyway.

As before, the hair is nice. It looks fluffy and shiny smile

One tip from me -

Go look in a mirror and see how big your hand is in comparison to your face.

Then compare that to your picture. You should notice a big difference.

Great detail, though. biggrin
